Spain-Mexico U-20 to Majadahonda: symbolic €3 entry fee by Ceuta

At the Cerro del Espino Stadium in Majadahonda, tomorrow Wednesday, the Spain‑Mexico Under‑20 friendly will be played, a fixture that carries the weight of Ceuta despite its relocation; the exclusive information comes from journalist Ramón Fuentes of Madrid Mañana.

The match originally scheduled in Ceuta

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) had initially scheduled the friendly at the Alfonso Murube Stadium in Ceuta. The decision was part of the federation's support and affection for the autonomous community, which has endured an invasion since the end of July. The gesture was evident with the visit of the RFEF president, Rafael Louzán, and the national team coach Luis de la Fuente, accompanied by the World Cup trophy.

Symbolic price and destination of the proceeds

The ticket price has been set at €3, a symbolic amount intended to encourage families to attend. The money raised will cover the arrangements and expenses of the match. Any surplus will be allocated to a non‑profit organization or NGO that supports Ceuta.

However, the security forces advised against playing on Ceuta's soil. For that reason, the RFEF decided to move the match to Majadahonda. The Under‑20 game will be played at Cerro del Espino, despite the impossibility of holding it in Ceuta.

Luis de la Fuente avoids clash and bans Eric Garcia from World Cup

The Cerro del Espino Stadium is the usual training centre of Atlético Madrid. It also hosts the matches of the Madrid‑based team Rayo Majadahonda. There it will become a celebration and recognition of Ceuta.

During the match, flags of the city of Ceuta will be displayed. In addition, Spanish flags will be distributed to every seat in the stand. These actions aim to keep the memory of Ceuta's citizens present.

The event aims to be an enduring celebration that honors solidarity with the North African community. The initiative strengthens the bond between the federation and Ceuta, despite the inability to play on its territory.
